Batman movies are usually classified as action movies SHEBAMMMMM but there should be another category for the franchise... Marvies perhaps since most of them are adaptation of comic books published by Marvel (WOOPS..... DC COMICS ALSO BUT MARVEL IS LIKE KLEENEX ISN'T IT? YOOOOOOFFFFFF...) which morphed into cartoons before making it ito the big screen. They are truly a form of art though and quite beautiful to watch WOW-they are also big money making machines of course, perhaps the biggest money machines the studios ever had. The latest Batman flix, The Dark Knight is a beautiful one. Heath Ledger is one of the best villains in movie history : a dash of M. (Peter Lorre) by Fritz Lang AARGHHHHHH, a sliver of Nosferatu by Murnau KREEEEEESH and a good dose of Jack of Kubricks’ The Shining YOOF and you have a perfect joker! The fact that Heath ledger added some his own natural talent and a little bit of Jerry McGuire is actually a touch of genius : “you complete me”... says the joker to the police commissioner Gordon! He is perfect but that said, Batman is a real good ensemble piece and like a puzzle, the pieces wouldn’t go together without the performances of all the actors, from Michael Caine to Morgan Freeman, Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhardt, Maggie Gillenhall etc... CLAP ! CLAP! CLAP! Beats Mamma Mia! , needless to say. Actually Mamma Mia! made the preview of the House Bunny look good... it says it all.
See for yourself (and I know it is pitiful but it does make me laugh!)

Implying that Batman is of marvelous origin is like saying the Pope is Lutheran. Batman is a DC comics.
